Are the inner and outer core of earth the same?
No. The inner and outer core are both composed primarily of iron and nickel, but the outer core is liquid and surrounds the inner core. The inner core is the innermost layer of Earth and is kept solid by the enormous pressure.
Is the outer core a liquid and the inner core a solid?
Yes, although the inner core is hotter than the outer core, there is more pressure. This pressure is enough to keep the inner core solid.
Is the Earth's core gaseous?
No, the earth's core is not gaseous. The core of the earth is under tremendous pressure and is very hot. The inner core is thought to be solid iron and nickel, with liquid iron and nickel comprising the outer core, which surrounds the solid center. A link can be found below to check facts and provide more information.
What is earths inter core?
There is the outer core and the inner core. Those places are very hot. In the inner core, the iron and nickel is solid due to all the weight pushing down. The outer core contains iron and nickel that is molten. Hope this helps? I am trying to be more helpful now.
How many km is the Earth's core?
The Earth has a liquid core containg iron (Fe) and nickel (Ni).
Is the inner core or the outer core solid?
In inner core is solid while the outer core is liquid. This is because the inner core, being deeper, is under more pressure.
Are the inner and outer core of earth the same?
No. The inner and outer core are both composed primarily of iron and nickel, but the outer core is liquid and surrounds the inner core. The inner core is the innermost layer of Earth and is kept solid by the enormous pressure.
Is the outer core a liquid and the inner core a solid?
Yes, although the inner core is hotter than the outer core, there is more pressure. This pressure is enough to keep the inner core solid.
Is the solid outer core more dense than the liquid inner core?
This question is based on a false assumption that the outer core is solid and the inner core is liquid. This is incorrect. It is in fact the inner core that is solid (and so is the most dense) and the outer core which is liquid.
How is the inner core and outer core different from each other?
The outer core is liquid, the inner core is solid The outer core surrounds the inner core The outer core is iron-rich, the inner core is iron-rich and nickel-rich There is more pressure acting on the inner core The inner core is hotter
Explain the difference between inner core and outer core?
Both the inner and outer core are made mostly of iron and nickel. The outer core is liquid while the inner core is solid.
Which is denser the inner core or the outer core?
The mantle is more dense than the asthenosphere, lithosphere, and the crust. The inner core and the outer core are more dense, however. The mantle is also a solid. I am learning this in my science class right now! :)
What is more dense inner-core or outer-core?
The inner core is more dense than the outer core.
What is hotter inner mantle or outer mantle?
the earths core is the hottest part of the earth. the metals in the earths outer core is liquid because of the heat and the metals in the earths core is solid but still the earths core is the hottest
Is the moon solid?
This phenomenon has to do with melting temperature and pressure. The more pressure a substance is under, the higher its melting point becomes. Both the liquid outer core and the solid inner core are made of an iron alloy, which means that chemically their melting points are the same. However, the outer core is under less pressure simply because it is under less material. The outer core supports the weight of the crust and mantle, while the inner core must also bear the weight of the outer core. The additional mass of the outer core creates enough pressure on the inner core to raise the melting temperature of the iron alloy above the temperature at the center of the earth, causing it to solidify. So in short, the inner core is solid because it is under more pressure than the outer core. Hope this helps
Is it outer core or inner core?
Both really the inner core is more hotter than the outer core
What is the composition of Earth's inner and outer cores?
The Earth's core is thought to be predominantly iron (85 %) with some (4-5%) nickel and the remainder oxygen, silicon, hydrogen and carbon and a number of siderophile (iron liking) elements that descended to the core with iron during planetary differentiation. The inner core is solid and the outer core, liquid.
